Discover the quaint fishing village of Mousehole with a stay at this traditional Cornish home. Though it's been updated with contemporary furnishings and amenities, you can easily discern the home's history with its old stone walls, wood-burning stove, and the exposed wooden trusses that adorn the bedroom's ceilings. An outdoor balcony on the roof connects to two of the bedrooms, making it the perfect spot for a morning breakfast or cup of tea. We love the living area’s enormous bay window that looks onto the sea – a view that goes hand in hand with a bottle of wine in front of the fire or a good book. Mousehole offers plenty of options for eateries, including traditional pubs and tearooms, but on nights when you just fancy a home-cooked meal, the kitchen is fully equipped. Dine at the rustic wooden table, then head out for an evening walk along the harbour wall and watch the waves crash. Tomorrow you can walk the Coastal Path to the Tater Du Lighthouse, or take a scenic drive to the nearby towns of Newlyn, St Michael's Mount or charming St Ives. If you prefer to stay in Mousehole, wander the shops and enchanting streets of this quiet seaside town before returning it's time to hit the beach again.

Tucked away in Mousehole's narrow, winding streets, this home's location is straight out of a fairytale – perched on a hill above the harbour, the living room and rooftop terrace look onto soft blue stretches of Cornish sea. The home is modern, polished, and bright, with a wide upper deck in full sun, making it ideal for summer living. Sling your sandy towels over the glass balustrade and relax with a glass of wine after a day on the beach. Spend an afternoon exploring the picturesque fishing harbour, nipping into cafes and shops as you weave your way around the village and its traditional granite cottages. Later, take a scenic walk west along the Coastal Path and admire views of the Tater Du Lighthouse. Further afield lie the larger towns of Newlyn, Penzance, and Marazion, each with their own pubs, restaurants, and secret coves.

Nice to haves

A short walk from the pretty harbour, this home couldn't be more typical of Mousehole if it tried. Once declared 'the loveliest village in England' by Dylan Thomas, 'Mowzul' is an ever-popular place to visit with narrow streets lined with historic cottages. Set over three floors, this former fisherman's loft is Grade II listed and has just the right balance of character features and modern, coastal-inspired styling. On the ground floor, a modern, eat-in kitchen provides everything you'll need for cooking at home, while the comfortable living room upstairs has the home's main entrance, an electric fire and a charming window seat. The top floor bedrooms are pretty special and we particularly love the vaulted ceilings and clever internal porthole windows. From the master bedroom, you can even see across to St Clement's Isle and beyond – what could be better? Stroll to the nearby, shops, cafes and restaurants or drive to Lamorna Cove (ten minutes) or Penzance (fifteen minutes).

Situated in Mousehole, one of Cornwall’s prettiest fishing villages, this cottage is a cosy stay from which to explore the coast and beyond. The interiors are neutral-toned and homespun, with the occasional nod to the abode’s nautical surroundings. Spend late mornings pottering around the kitchen-living space; slather Cornish clotted cream on scones and enjoy with a pot of tea on the sun trap patio. Slip on your sandals and take a stroll along the harbour, just metres from your doorstep. Dip in and out of locally-owned galleries and cafes before settling in with an ice-cool beverage by the water’s edge. When you’re keen to expend a little more energy, lace up your walking shoes and set off on the fifty-four-minute ramble to Lamorna Cove Beach. As soon as hunger bites, take the ten-minute drive to the town of Newlyn for an irresistible selection of seafood restaurants – the Michelin Guide recommended Tolcarne Inn was one of our favourites.

Harbour Hideaway

Midway along a quaint narrow road set back from the bustling Mousehole Harbour, this Cornish cottage is a quaint and stylishly formed home-from-home. While tastefully modern with a fresh neutral colour palette and gentle nods to the town’s nautical history, the rustic origins have been retained. In the mornings, find the comfiest spot on the deep linen sofa and settle in with the papers and a cup of tea. Cooking in the kitchen is a laid-back affair with everything you need to whip up humble lunches or to prepare glasses of Pimm’s, sipped on the bench at the front. Wander out for pasties by the waterside—less than five minutes by foot—and wind through the village to gift shops and tea rooms. Take the twenty-minute drive to Marazion Beach, where the glittering Mount’s Bay gives the Aegean a run for its money. After a bracing dip, come home to de-sand in the double shower and settle in with a cider and a fish supper, looking forward to your weary head hitting the pillow of your luxurious king-size bed.

Cornish Sea Salt

Parking On Street

This seaside cottage occupies a wonderful spot just beside the harbour in Mousehole. With plenty of traditional charm, it makes a great place to put your feet up and relax between your Cornish adventures. 

There's a nautical theme running throughout the home – look out for the lobster-printed cushions, handsome blue detailing, and even a glimpse of the sea from the window. On chilly days, you can throw a log on the fire and get comfy on the sofa with a good book and a glass of red wine. And, when you get hungry, you can whip up some family favourites in the kitchen, before serving your culinary creations at the cosy dining table. 

Mousehole Harbour is a sandy spot, so we think you'll spend much of your time paddling, eating ice cream, and watching the boats bobbing in the water. Culture fans will be delighted to discover that the little village is home to a few art galleries. And, if you fancy a day trip, you can visit hidden coves, ancient stone circles, and the historic port of Penzance, all within easy driving distance.

If, like us, you do love to be beside the seaside, this is a great choice of holiday home. This gorgeous home can be found on the hill behind Mousehole, under a mile away, in the traditional village of Paul. There you’ll find a cosy pub and a 15th-century parish church – if you’re looking for authentic English charm, look no further. It’s in the heart of the Cornish countryside but still close to the coast, making it popular with hikers and surfers alike. We love Sennen beach for the waves, but Penzance is just as easy to get to if you prefer building sandcastles. 

The house has been recently refurbished with much love. Muted hues and natural textiles are key to the style of this laid-back, comfortable home-from-home. When you’re not lounging inside or dining at the farmhouse-style table, you’ll likely be enjoying the fabulous outside space. 

Let the kids tire themselves out playing on the lawn, in the Wendy house, on the swings, or playing table tennis. Meanwhile, you can slip into the hot tub with a glass of something bubbly and really start to unwind. Continue to enjoy the countryside views by dining alfresco – this is what holidays are all about.

This perfectly formed cottage in Mousehole is the kind of place you'll want to cosy up for a fireside hot chocolate after a day of hiking along the coastline or swimming at the local beaches. 

Offering plenty of room to spread out and catch up in the living and dining areas, it is a space that provides a sociable ambience or a peaceful setting where the group can take moments of solitude if needed. Perch on the window seat with a good book in hand. Or better still, when the weather is being kind make your way outside to take in the fresh sea air. 

Open up. the patio doors and step out onto the driftwood-decked courtyard with outdoor seating, barbecue and a space to keep surfboards and bikes. While the dreamy ocean views are best seen from the upstairs bedrooms, the tranquil patio garden is a wonderfully secluded spot to make the most of the sunshine in privacy. Then, of course, there is the beach, and an array of pubs, shops and eateries positioned just half a mile away from your central address in Mousehole. 

The Cowrie Collector

With romantic sea views and cosy interiors, this Mousehole cottage welcomes you to experience the timeless charm of coastal living. 

Wake up to the soothing sound of the waves, enjoy slow mornings gazing at the views, take leisurely Harbourside strolls and spend lazy afternoons curled up on the sofa with a book. Outside, the front terrace provides a wonderful setting for balmy evening drinks and delicious meals prepared with fresh local produce. And when the weather turns cold and crisp, you’ll find the living room welcoming you to enjoy cosy movie nights by the fire. 

From here, it’s just a short walk to the nearest beach, shops, bakery and charming pubs, while the coast is brimming with opportunities for long hikes, cycle rides and sightseeing. Penzance and the majestic St Michael’s Mount are within easy driving distance. 

The Merry Sailor 

Swimming Pool

Free Parking

Child Friendly

An escape to the seaside is good for the soul – there’s nothing quite like sea air and pretty views. This home can be found just outside of Mousehole, on the edge of the small village of Paul. You’ll wake up to sea views each morning, and also benefit from some real peace and quiet. 

Begin your day with a hearty cooked breakfast served at the twelve-seat dining table. From there you can admire the greenery outside – perhaps you’ll be tempted to follow your meal with a stroll around the orchard. Find a peaceful spot next to the pond and sip your coffee, revelling in the tranquillity. If the weather stops play, there’s always a comfy seat by an open fire – choose from the living room and sitting room, where you’ll also find a piano. Children will love splashing about in the heated indoor swimming pool. 

Of course with a visit to the seaside, you’ll want to spend time near the sea. It takes seven minutes to drive to Newlyn Tolcarne Beach, where you can build sandcastles, paddle and skim stones. Later on in the day, you might drive to Mousehole Harbour – just five minutes away – to admire the boats and tuck into fish and chips. This home was built in 1868 but its location is timeless. 


On The Rise

Private Parking

Free Parking On Street

Near the picturesque village of Mousehole, this home blows us away with panoramic sea views. Making the most of the good weather is easy when you have multiple seating areas to choose from. Indoors, we love the contemporary design, and that the twin room can be set up for a couple instead. Though the bathtubs offer relaxation, take care not to bump your head on sloped ceilings. You can reach Newlyn on foot, but the well-known Penzance is only a ten-minute drive from here.

The Bay Dreams

The picturesque fishing village of Mousehole may not be one of Cornwall's most famous hotspots, but it's certainly one of the most beautiful and this home is in the perfect position for exploring it. A short stroll to the centre of its tiny town and a three-minute wander from the sparkling harbour, filled with restaurants, bars and fishing boats. The surrounding area offers plenty to see and do, including many glorious places to eat, but it's always lovely returning back to this cosy cottage. Curl up with a good book under the warmth of the wood-burning stove or sink into the deep sofa seat with a glass of wine. You'll notice plenty of personal touches, from local artwork to quirky adornments, as well as low-beamed ceilings that make for a homely country-style living space to relax. In warmer months, the large garden with the full range of outdoor furniture calls out for lazy days spent in the sun sipping alfresco drinks. Inside and out, this home is the perfect size for a romantic break in a quieter Cornish village. 

Quiet As A Mouse

Luxury Bedding

This 17th Century fisherman's cottage reveals unrivalled sea-facing views as far as the eye can see. Whether you're in the living room, bedrooms or indeed out on the terrace, prepare to be blown away by the soothing ambience of living by the sea. The inside of the home offers countryside interiors with a modern twist. Grandfather chairs, cosy blankets, exposed stone and a wood-burning stove provide a warming place to snuggle up in after a day of exploring the Cornish coastline. Pick up some fish and chips on the way home and tuck in at the dining table outside – you'll definitely want to be home for sunset. Enjoy a glass of bubbly while watching as the balmy sky paints a colourful picture over the horizon. Wander the narrow winding streets of Mousehole – lined with boutiques, galleries and restaurants. With the fishing port, only a seven-minute walk away as well as surf beaches galore around this part of Cornwall, you'll be based in a dream coastal spot for a quintessential English seaside experience. 

The Fisherman's Cottage

Moments from the bustle of downtown Penzance and set conveniently above an award-winning local fish and chip shop, welcome to this light-filled, breezy getaway with sea views visible at every turn. The apartment has been set up with your needs in mind, and while you won't find the personal possessions and framed family portraits of a lived-in home, it wins top marks for classic English seaside vibes. You have endless coastal walks to choose from, and surfers will be in their element, plus you have excellent seafood dining options nearby. Back at home, the sofa can accommodate the whole team, and low-key luxury and barefoot relaxation are the order of the day, while meals outside allow you to take in the local atmosphere as you people-watch over the promenade. If you'd like to explore further afield, head east to Perranuthnoe Beach, Praa Sands and Porthleven Beach, or south-west to Pedn Vounder Beach and the stunning Minack Theatre – all within a twenty-five-minute drive of your home.

Atlantic Whispers

Quaint and full of personality, this family-friendly Cornish cottage is located just moments away from the water's edge. It's truly a one-of-a-kind place, where lovers of literature and the seaside can feel right at home – it has to be seen to be believed. 

The cottage has gorgeous sea views and lavish blue velvet sofas where you can sink in and relax between your adventures. Keen readers can peruse the range of novels and non-fiction titles in the impressive library, then get stuck into their book of choice outside in the sunny courtyard. When it comes to cooking, the charming green Aga is perfect for cooking up your favourite dishes to share before you retire to the drawing room – there's even a baby grand piano that budding musicians can play. 

Mousehole's picture-perfect harbour is only a five-minute walk away, where kids can play on the sand as you watch the boats bobbing in the water. Adventurous types can head out to explore the rugged coastline – there's space to store your surfboards and bikes at the house. And, if you fancy a day trip, take the fifteen-minute trip over to Penzance to stroll through the historic port town. 

The Classics Await

With views over Newlyn Harbour and across the Cornish coast, this historic home feels like stepping back in time. Embrace the mariner lifestyle by watching the day boats leave from the big bay windows or curling up by one of the log burners after a bracing dip in the sea. Alongside vintage pieces such as grandfather clocks and oil paintings, the home is equipped with all the mod cons you'd expect. Perfect for family get-togethers, there are two living rooms, both with comfy sofas and chairs, so there'll be no squabbling over the remote. On clear days, sip wine on the patio, which has views as far as St Michael's Mount, or if the weather isn't playing ball, treat yourself to a soak in the freestanding tub. The home is blessed with an excellent location for exploring this popular corner of the country – Mousehole and Penzance are reasonable strolls away, and you won't find the catch of the day much fresher than in the village's own restaurants. Just under twenty minutes in the car will see you arrive at Land's End, Britain's most south-westerly point and a famous landmark.

Shelter From The Storm

Smart TV

Heated Towel Rail

Situated in the Cornish countryside, this former mill flaunts country elegance from top to toe. Inside, a creamy colour palette creates a soothing environment that’s a pleasure to relax in – especially after long rambles along nearby lanes. Spend warm mornings in your half acre garden, where there’s nothing but the sound of rustling trees, clattering plates as breakfast is dished out, and cows bellowing in the distance. Watch minnows dart in the shallows of the stream before resting with a cup of tea in the summer house. 

If rain threatens, retreat to the cosy living space, light the wood-burning fire and curl up with a good book on the comfy sofa. The farmhouse-chic kitchen has plenty of space for prepping lunch but if you’d prefer to eat out, Mousehole’s superb seafood restaurants are a ten-minute drive away. Explore the quaint cobbled streets and picturesque harbour before heading over to Lamorna Cove Beach for sea swims and wind-whipped walks along the South West Coast Path.

This spacious Cornish seaside cottage looks out over the amazing island of St Michael's Mount. The home will sweep you and your family away with its location perched overlooking the coast, with a living space that opens out directly onto the balcony and expansive views of the ocean. Located in Marazion, Cornwall's oldest town, there are plenty of discoveries to be made. The beaches and rock pools unveiled at low tide are great for the young ones on summer or winter days, while coastal walking options are endless and range from leisurely strolls to challenging half-day hikes. At home, warm your feet by the fire in the cosy living room, enjoy alfresco dining in the enclosed garden and host games sessions well into the night before sleeping soundly in the tranquil bedrooms. If you get the urge to explore further afield, you won't have to travel far before reaching stunning St Ives. Here, you'll join surfers, creatives and food-lovers in this bohemian enclave along Cornwall's rugged north coast that's well worth a visit.

The Mount

Cafetiere

With sea views and serene interiors, this apartment in Marazion is ideal for a romantic coastal escape. The soothing colour scheme is as relaxing as a day at the beach, while the comfy furnishings provide plenty of spots to kick back and relax. And it doesn't lack charm, either – everywhere you look there are nods to the area's nautical roots, the star of which is the original ship window above the kitchen sink. The ocean outlook makes washing up something to look forward to, while the induction range stove will get your creative culinary juices flowing. But the real showstopper is the south-facing terrace off the bedroom. Wake up to the sight of Mount's Bay in the morning, then pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of wine and watch the sunset each evening. When you're ready to venture out, you'll be spoilt for choice, whether you want to kitesurf and paddleboard, grab a bite to eat or sprawl out Marazion Beach (a ten-minute stroll away). And, of course, a trip to Marazion isn't complete without a visit to St Michael's Mount – when the tide is low, you can walk across the causeway to the famous castle in under twenty minutes, but you can always hop on a ferry when the tide rolls in.

With stunning sea views and a series of grand bedrooms, this Grade II listed 17th-century home is perfect for large families or groups of friends who are looking for a relaxing coastal retreat. Children and parents alike will enjoy the walled garden and homely interior, tastefully furnished to create a down-to-earth yet premium ambience.

The village setting is quintessentially Cornish, with the beach just five minutes down the road and lovely local pubs and cafes within easy reach (your closest is right around the corner). For travels further afield, guests can explore English heritage sites and well-preserved National Trust houses and gardens – we'd recommend bringing a car to easily tick the off the list. The local coastline provides excellent surf and beautiful hiking trails, adored by local lovers of the outdoors. 

Ye Olde Church House

Outdoor Shower

Cornwall is known for its laid-back vibe, and this home gives off just that. With neutral tones running through the home, traditional wooden beams, a cosy fireplace, and a flourishing garden, it's the perfect Cornish getaway. We love the nods to Cornish coastal roots, with oars on the walls adding a beachy feel to the home. It's twee and charming while being stylish and contemporary. 

Soak up gorgeous mornings in your lush garden, which spreads across two levels. Enjoy your morning coffee while catching up on your book, before getting ready to take on the day. You could easily spend your days lounging around this home, but the Cornish west coast is too beautiful to miss. The seaside town of Marazion is just a ten-minute walk away and upon reaching its beach, you'll be doing a double-take as to whether you're really still in the UK. With glistening clear blue seas and white sand beaches, spending the day here is easily done. And for the full experience, we highly recommend a classic Cornish pasty or fish and chips on the beach for a satisfying lunch. 

Return home and wash off the sand in your outdoor shower before enjoying a few drinks in the garden. The barbecue is ready to go to cook up a feast, or you could enjoy a homecooked dinner around the dining table inside if the weather starts to chill. There's nothing more homely than gathering around with family and friends in a Cornish cottage, while the traditional fireplace warms you up from the inside out. 

Gingham & Cream

Tucked in the coastal village of Gulval, this terraced home boasts easy access to Penzance, where a rich maritime history, seafood restaurants, and independent shops await. For your downtime, we love how the cosy log burner and a freestanding bathtub offer homely touches. But the south-facing garden is a great spot to dine alfresco in warm weather. Fancy a day by the coast? Long Rock Beach is just down the road, plus the utility area here can store wetsuits, surfboards and other outdoor equipment.

Sandcastles In The Sky

This traditional Cornish cottage in Marazion with pretty blue shutters is reminiscent of the Mediterranean. It will sweep you off your feet with its location perched above the coast, offering stunning views out onto the deep blue sea. The living space of the home opens directly onto the balcony and unrivalled vistas across the bay. Dine alfresco on the secluded terrace, but be warned it will be difficult to tear yourself away from this picture-perfect spot once you're comfy. Inside, soft furnishings including the muted sofa suite, wooden furniture and a toned-down colour palette create a warm space, ideal for moments of relaxation where you can listen to the soothing sound of the waves crashing in the background. Positioned in Marazion, Cornwall’s oldest town, there are plenty of discoveries to be made here – the beaches at low tide are sublime in summer and even on cold winter days. Coastal hikes are endless and range from those looking to leisurely take in the scenes or commit to a more strenuous hike. Take a trip across the causeway to St. Michael’s Moun and be sure to visit the magical structures of the Bronze Age. With an array, a myriad of innovative eateries choose from, refuel on some proper pub grub on the way back home. 


Copper Spoon

Rooftop Terrace

Arrive at this Cornish stone home and find yourself immediately drawn out onto the balcony – overlook the grassy fields straight to the sparkling ocean. With the patio set and barbecue, you’ll probably spend a lot of your holiday out here – it’s hard to pull yourself away from that view. Inside though is nearly as pleasing, white-washed walls and wooden beams complementing a bright space with farmhouse furniture. Prepare breakfast in the decked-out kitchen to enjoy out on the patio before exploring the surrounding town of Marazion, a historic coastal town with an artisan feel and a causeway to the gorgeous St Michael’s Mount. Take a tranquil evening walk along Praa Sands Beach or watch a show at the stunning Minnack Theatre – an open-air theatre jutting out onto the Atlantic sea. 

Wooden Ships

Single-Level Home

When life gets in the way of actually living, all it takes to reset is to retreat to an idyllic barn like this Grade II listed one in Cornwall. When you wake up here on your first morning feeling a little more calibrated, why not pop open the bi-fold doors to this little studio and get back in bed with a coffee and crossword. Puzzle it out together as you unwind, and if you happen to fall asleep again, then rest assured knowing time has no domain here. When you’re ready to leave the safety of the bed, take your breakfast outside so you’re able to fully appreciate the clean air and quiet of the village. 

Cornish pasties, wine, good books, and a fire in the small wood-burning stove is in order for wetter weather, but when it’s sunny, you’re going to want to venture out to the local beaches. With white sand and insanely blue water, a day spent waterside, listening to crashing waves, will be the ultimate tonic for the last bit of stress you’ve been holding onto. Write your name in the sand before hitting up one of the local restaurants for fresh seafood, and end the night with a spot of stargazing when you get back home. 

Spoonbill

XBox

Setting the tone for a fun coastal getaway in Penzance, this wonderfully central cottage has comfort and entertainment in spades. 

Wake to views over the sea and the Jubilee Pool before enjoying an alfresco breakfast on the sunny patio. Should you want to relax before a day of sightseeing, there are plenty of books to enjoy as well as an Xbox 360 in the living room. After ample lounging, make a beeline for the Jubilee Pool (a two-minute walk)  – the UK's biggest and most celebrated art deco seawater lido – or take a stroll along the Penzance Promenade, just one minute away on foot. Penzance Harbour is also a six-minute stroll, while the picturesque fishing village of Mousehole is a nine-minute drive away.

After a day of sea air, come back home and pop a record on as you fire up the barbecue for an alfresco feast under the stars.

Lido Life

Wine Cooler

With stretching views over the bay and St Michael's Mount, you will find this stylish home in sandy Marazion – Cornwall's oldest town, steeped in history and folklore. From socialising in seaside pubs to windsurfing on the water, there's plenty here to keep the full family entertained. Only steps away from Marazion Beach, you can even enjoy a flat walk along the coast to Penzance in two miles.

Perfect for families of four, this apartment invites you in with its coastal colour scheme and home comforts. Why not start the day in your spotless kitchen, where you can whip up a full English breakfast and pour coffee from the cafetiere? Nestled in the bright bay window, this dining table is the ideal spot for people-watching and planning your days. No matter what you decide to do, you'll want to curl up on the sofa with a book from the shelf or soak your feet in the bathtub before bed.

Ocean's Blue

We’re not one for hyperbole, but the views from the terrace of this home really are spectacular. Not only do you have the ocean stretching out as far as the eye can see, but the beautiful bay of Praa Sands also curves down below, and the patchwork fields of south Cornwall lie in the distance. Admire the view from the perfectly placed hot tub, drink a morning coffee on the glass-fronted balcony, or cook a meal on the barbecue to enjoy overlooking the water. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room means that you can take in the scene even on cold days – when you may want to fire up the woodburner for a cosy evening in. Aside from walking, surfing and sunbathing on Praa Sands, you’ll also want to explore the nearby village and go hiking along the South West Coast Path, which is easy to reach from this home.

We loved this home’s wooden deck – with stunning sea views, a dining table, barbecue, two loungers and Adirondacks facing the ocean, it’s fully equipped for time well-spent outside. Factor in that you’re less than a ten-minute walk from the beach and you have a real winner. Meander down the South West Coast Path to laidback Sennen Cove with its stretch of golden sand and tropical-blue water. Here Cornish fishermen brush shoulders with tousle-haired surfers. We recommend renting a board and catching a wave – there are two highly-rated surf schools in the area. When you return home, hit the outdoor shower and set your wetsuits to dry in the warm utility room before heading inside, where you’ll find it’s just as lovely as its surroundings – smart and minimal with touches of nautical chic. We especially love the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living area. Kick back on the sofas and play a board game or puzzle all together. Then gather around the light wood table for a feast before retiring to the bedrooms for some restful sleep, knowing there’s another beautiful seaside morning waiting for you when you awake. 

Surf Style

Outdoor Fireplace / Firepit

Just a five-minute walk from the centre of the village, this pretty cottage feels every bit the wonderfully rural Cornish retreat. As part of a set of converted farm buildings, this place has changed a lot since it was used to store seed potatoes back in the day. 

A glossy modern kitchen, plump sofas, a velvet beanbag, and a rainfall shower are just some of the features that bring comfort and style to this rustic abode. We love the log burner in the lounge, the heart of the living space, where you can round up the family after a day out exploring the area. But for the ultimate in modern-day luxury, we suggest you take a long soak in the home's new hot tub, out in the lovely garden. 

You'll be just minutes away from both the north and south Cornish coast by car, with Penzance, Marazion and the impressive St Michael's Mount all nearby.

Maris Peer

Sitting on a charming row of Cornish cottages, this home shines like the warm summer sun. And with its striking yellow exterior, this is a wonderful place to experience the joy and magic of coastal living. 

Just a short walk from Marazion beach and town, there’s a refreshing quality to this home. It strikes a wonderful balance between tradition and comfort to create a space that is filled with character. And with views across St Michael’s Mount, it’s easy to be captivated by its atmospheric beauty. From cosy mornings reading by the fire to candlelit dinners around the table, there’s a romantic ambience to this home that makes you want to settle in and stay. 

Stepping outside, you’ll find a walled courtyard and a raised terrace perfectly positioned to savour the views with drinks in hand. And when you’re inspired to explore, Mount's Bay is waiting to be discovered. You can easily walk to the beach and the majestic St Michael’s Mount, while it’s just a twenty–minute drive to the pretty villages of Newlyn and Mousehole. 

The Marigold Sea

The tiny hamlet of Crowlas is home to this rustic stone cottage, located less than a five-minute walk from the village centre. Stepping foot inside this former hay barn, the interiors might surprise you. While the furnishings and the kitchen are wonderfully modern, the wooden stairs and the wood burning stove are gorgeous, rustic features which make the space feel warm and homely. After a windswept day at the beach, coming home will feel like bliss when you can curl up by the fire with a cup of tea. And the flames continue outside. With a fire pit and a barbecue, the kids can roast marshmallows while someone else handles the burgers on the grill. This garden is a stunning spot where you can let the little ones run around – and you can lie back in the sun loungers to enjoy the serenity of the countryside. For a day out of your sanctuary, hop in the car and head through the village to pick up picnic supplies. As the crow flies, you’re under two miles from the rugged coasts of Cornwall. However, we recommend checking out the fishing village of Padstow, about an hour away. Or St Ives is only a fifteen-minute drive from home, where you can visit high-end restaurants and visit the Tate Gallery.

Fireside Frolics

Private Washing Machine

Sitting in Goldsithney's coastal village, this charming cottage is only a few minutes down the road from Perranuthnoe Beach. Half a mile away from your front door lies the ancient market town of Marazion, where you can easily access St Michael's Mount at low tide.

Endless Green

Wake up to breathtaking sea views when you visit The Bluest Sight in charming Mousehole. Tucked into the hillside above the town, the home’s main living area is split into two levels and boasts impressive picture windows to guarantee glorious views from almost every angle. Wake up and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea in the living area as you gaze out over the harbour and sparkling, turquoise bay that gives Mousehole its fame. Whether you’re visiting in the summer, winter, spring or autumn, Mousehole’s quay is always bustling with art galleries, gift shops and fantastic restaurants. Best of all, you can walk to the harbour in less than ten minutes. Other local attractions include St Clement’s Isle, which sits just some three-hundred metres from the shore and boasts incredible sea and wild life, or the nearby bird sanctuary at Ragginnis Hill. Just be sure to pack comfortable walking shoes because this area is best explored on foot.

The Bluest Sight

Positioned in a most dramatic fashion, A Beacon Of Light sits on a granite headland on the North Cornish Coast under the watchful eyes of a beautiful, early-twentieth-century lighthouse. Located just six miles north of Land’s End and two miles from St Just, this fantastic coastal position gives guests the opportunity to experience plenty of excitement while basking in the glory of peaceful serenity. With breathtaking views of the Atlantic ocean, as well as an abundance of flora and fauna, from seabirds to golden gorse and pink thrift, the sights you see here are second to none. If you’re lucky, you may even wake up to find seals lounging on the rocks below the headland. In that case, be like them, sit out on the patio and let the sound of the crashing waves relax you.

Bounded on two sides by National Trust land, this picture-perfect Cornwall home is in the middle of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – the perfect place to come and get away from it all. You aren't wholly isolated here, though, as the charming local village of Treen has a shop, a cafe and a good, old-fashioned Cornish pub just a two-minute walk away. Also within walking distance is Pedn Vounder Beach, only fifteen minutes away on foot, which is an excellent place to laze in the sand and splash around in the turquoise sea. Built in the 1930s, this idyllic hideaway has been in the host's family for decades, and you can sense that welcoming atmosphere as soon as you step through the front door. Original period features have been beautifully brought back to life, including a gorgeous walnut fireplace with a cosy wood-burning stove. There's plenty of snug seating – whether you want to stretch out, curl up with a book from the library or admire the views – and the kitchen is designed with entertaining in mind. But the garden is the real stand-out. It's set on several different levels, with all sorts of nooks and crannies to tuck yourself away in. It's the ideal spot to enjoy afternoon tea and evening cocktails, surrounded by apple trees, an herb garden and wild hydrangea bushes that feel like something out of a fairytale.

If you're not too tired from hours-long surf sessions, why not instigate a bit of friendly competition on the tennis courts opposite.

Inside, a spacious kitchen diner makes for sociable evenings as you prepare dinner together.
